    I tried drawing Frank Sinatra.

    Well, it doesn't really look like Frank Sinatra but I still like it. :p I blame not drawing a person for over 5 years or something.

    Just heard an American say the word "Emu".

    One of the most cringe worthy things I have ever witnessed. Where the hell do they get "E-moo" from..?

    I thought it was always E-moo to pronounce it, because that's the way I was taught to say it, I never knew it was E-mew was the right way, I honestly had to search how to say Emu correctly, or is it some sort of accent thing?
    The american school system sucks. My life has been a lie...

    Wait then how do you say it? Eh-mu?

    It's like with utes, I thought you said it oo-ts but apparently it's you-ts.

    Within British accents we say it like the letter 'w' (double yew)

    Emu = eem-yew
    Ute = yewt(e) [Similar to word Mute]

    However it wouldn't surprise me to see a lot of people pronouncing Ute like Oot.

    Slow to focus, never actually focuses, blurry and soft images, either blows out the highlights or is too dark, have to hold it still for at least 4 seconds to get a decent shot, camera app is pretty unintuituive to use. I have an S7 so it might be I'm not used to cheaper phone's cams, but the camera app is just plain bad. Also the 3T camera does everything the Play's camera can and does it better. You could probably even make the 3T hit that 8 hours SoT by screwing with the kernel and experimenting with underclocking.

    Mine focuses even faster than my friend's OP3. It's probably a problem with yours, the shots I get on mine are really good and the battery life with Nougat usually lasts me about 16hrs a day, and uses 3% battery on standby over 6 hours with wifi off but mobile data on.

    Not to mention i have about 20% after those 16 hours.

    Canadians say e-mew. E-moo sounds stupid, not sure how it even started.

    Did anyone else have this thing forever ago? I've noticed these guys have lost their website now.

    Just heard an Australian say the word "Aluminum".

    Where the hell do they get "Al-you-min-ee-um" from?

    I'm sorry, I couldn't resist. Do Australians even say it like that? Speaking of emus, I once had a person call an alpaca (essentially a smaller llama) an emu. Seriously.

    Everywhere that speaks English says it like that, Everywhere that speaks American English says it the American way.

    In English it is spelt "Aluminium" whereas in American English it is spelt "Aluminum", hence different pronunciations.

    On the plus side I guess it does help to protect them against lawsuits from people claiming to have had their hearing damaged by the event.

    But its probably about trying to make the events more "mass market" friendly.

    It focuses fast if there's a lot of light. But I usually take my pictures indoors and I take quick shots so not really applicable to me lol. Doesn't really bother me, I'm just waiting for the Nougat update to see if I really want to keep it.

    Still on 6.0.1 but I've gotten to 94% standby with WiFi on over 8 hours.
